@GlobalWatchClub I actually like it

Was the Yacht-Master II the worst looking Rolex?

@NiklausFuller @Ubermenscchh Half of the AI use cases been around for a decade with just normal automation and 90% of orgs still couldn’t get their head out of their ass to implement. Enterprises are obscenely slow and shockingly incapable of making stuff like this actually work.

@Ubermenscchh @AdamDKSaad true? They’re dead?

🚨BREAKING : Call centers are officially dead. ElevenLabs Agents quietly wiped out the $40B customer support industry. → Sounds human in 70+ languages → Books, updates, closes tickets mid-call → Plugs into GPT, Claude, Gemini, any LLM → $0.08/min, startups get $4K free Revolut, Cisco, Deliveroo already switched. You're next 🧵

@GlobalWatchClub Daytona east - tougher choice if batgirl.

Daytona or Batman!? Which will it be...

@LuxuryWatchGuy1 Ouch / yea that’s fugly

One of the biggest Rolex flops in history The Factory Diamond Meteorite Skydweller ☄️ 💎 ZERO demand for this piece and the few dealers that are stuck with one (me included) probably can’t get 50% out of it 😤

@thecamjwright Anyone notice that “Top Earner Average” is an oxymoron?

Anyone else notice Paycom MID-MARKET in the #2 spot at $1.7M? Tf..

@sammarelich Just raise their quota and pay % on accelerators as they hit quota milestones. Commission % should never be flat rate.

Had a call with a candidate today who wanted $250k in their next role ($125/$125) Which is fine But their quota was $600k per year The math doesn’t really pencil out Companies want sales reps to bring in 4-5x their OTE No can you squint and say $650k closed last year = yeah this person can probably close $800k? Sure But hard to see a world where someone magically doubles their number, especially if they’re playing a volume game

@Storage_Venture Yea…when you buy one, and wear one. You understand. With Rolex preferably you buy it to commemorate something. 8sleep - now every other bed sucks. Crocs - that was mind blowing. Ferrari - I only started liking it 2 weeks into owning.

@AdamDKSaad When you buy one do you understand all of a sudden? Is there any other product that gives epiphanies too?

Never owed a Rolex. Or any expensive watch. Rock the Apple Watch every day. Never understood the allure.

You’re an absolute beast. I’ve been in the mud for the last year - my super power is sales an GTM. I haven’t done that in the last 6 months because I’ve been buried in Ops and Delivery. Hired a new COO so I can do what I do best + work on the business. Working in the business sounds like what you did: hyper focus on AI and create an Operating System, LFG. Well done, brother

I quit my big consulting job to go solo 4 years ago. Here’s an update. Last year we were just shy of $5M in revenue. 74% gross margin. Over 50% EBITDA. Nearly $10M in cumulative bookings all time. 98% CSAT. No website for the first year. Started on Upwork. Built through an aggressive partner channel and by finding overlooked but world-class consultants before anyone else did. My superpower is recruiting. Year 2, we grew 4.5x. Year 3, growth normalized to 74% YoY — the base was just a lot bigger. We came into 2026 and booked $2.4M in Q1 alone — ahead of plan. We hired a VP of Sales in February and we’re targeting 60% growth this year. Lots to execute against, but it’s been an awesome ride so far. I’m not planning to add headcount anytime soon beyond that. The next hires will be AI talent focused on automating work we used to do manually. Every hire has to have an excellent client-facing personality — gone are the days of boring, grumpy, stuffy consultants. If you don’t have a personality, you don’t have a chance. That’s the new reality in professional services. How we deliver today looks nothing like six months ago. That’s because we built our own internal operating system — purpose-built for how we actually work, not how software vendors think we should. We did this inside the privacy tech market, which gives the playbook real depth and repeatability. We’re also considering the next chapter: finding good tech services businesses, acquiring them, and installing our operating model and AI tooling on top. Bootstrapped, profitable, good people — that’s the profile. There are a lot of well-run firms leaving margin and growth on the table because they never built the engine. They can’t quite figure out AI. We did. Now we want to use it.

@NasheCeezet_zw How many 45’s do yall have?

Some guy at the gym every morning 6am. He takes the 45lb plates, all of them. He loads one bar and he does one rep and sits for 20 minutes. Then unloads and he leaves, he does this everyday. We hated him, and nicknamed him the plate dragon. People started coming in at 5:45 to beat him. He'd just wait smiling and he would take them at 6. One rep, sit then leaves. I finally asked him Bro what are you doing?

@wisdomXplorer Probably take a piss

If you woke up a billionaire tomorrow, What's the 1st thing you'd do?

@FidelCacheFlow Never regret getting a Bentley - especially after someone else took the depreciation

@FidelCacheFlow 👀

@AdamWhitcroft @auchenberg Get your second watch first - staying in the $2500 range is like lighting your money on fire

@auchenberg Not sure a 10 grand watch is an intro.

I'm sick of my Apple Watch. People into mechanical watches, what's a good intro watch? Looking for something good quality and timeless. Help.

@oliverbrocato $1000/hour

My buddy got fired from a mid-size corporate last month. No handoff. No transition plan. Just 2 weeks severance + a 15-min Zoom with HR on a Tuesday. "We're going in a different direction." He was 24. Built their entire inventory tracking system from scratch. Only person who actually understood how their warehouse integrations worked. Weeks later his old PM texted: "Hey man, the system's been down for 6 hours. Can u hop on a quick call?" Then the COO emailed: "We'd love to bring u back as a consultant. $200/hr." So predictable: > Clip the ppl who actually build machines > Keep the directors who haven't touched code in 4 years > Panic when things break > Beg them to come back at 3x the cost He's got 48 hours left to respond. What would u do?

Being good at sales isn’t about being a “good talker”

@sweatystartup Can’t decide if this is Low T or Hight T

Recently met a man whose wife packs his suitcase when he travels. When he gets home she unpacks it. This blew my mind. Began to ask around and this is the majority of my friends. Unreal level of service!

@FidelCacheFlow Look at your forearm and look at your back. Do you think your forearms and grip will EVER be able to keep up with your back muscles? Bodybuilders use straps for grip. Do LAT pull downs and lose fat - your pull ups will get better

Gym bros - any recommendations for rapidly increase grip strength? Been trying to develop my back via pull ups and it seems like grip strength is the primary roadblock to progress. Just more exposure? Movement? Thx in advance

@FidelCacheFlow The amount of money I pay for advice and coaching would make poor people’s heads fall off

My life significantly improved when I stopped even considering opinions and advice from those doing worse than me. Complete disregard of opinions and observations. Once you reach a certain level all of your advice should be paid from said expert in particular area of life wether career finance or personal

@RooktoRep Yea bro - hotel chains really wanted to invest in CRM’s and Marketing Cloud during COVID

@AdamDKSaad that helps

How much of success in tech sales is luck vs skill? Because you can’t say it’s 100% skill, there are things that are completely out of your control. So, if you had to put a % on it… what would you say?
